@catherinerhyde It’s awesome, but I think you mean the Cocoon nebula?
52 Cygni and a wisp of the Western Veil Nebula, making me want to tear out the ir filter in my little Canon M200 😹
Don’t get me wrong, I was delighted to see the blue show up with a decent amount of detail, but the faint traces of reds just make me want more.
This is 168x 30 seconds at iso1600 through my 7” f/4.5 reflector on homemade equatorial mount with RA drive only.

The Helix nebula. This is only about 50 minutes or so integration. I should probably be getting more time into tonight but instead I’m trying to see what I can get of the Veil nebula at 800mm fl. I really like this though even if it is a little grainy.

@astromecanik thanks! Uranus is magnitude 5.6, which is at the edge of unaided vision, so it actually shows up easily in photography when the Moon isn’t washing out everything around it. This is one of the few times clouds are a good thing in this context 😹
